screen resolution on Sony Vaio VGN CR29XN/B

Asked by alfred

Have installed Ubuntu on my Vaio, seems to work ok, but screen resolution is only 800/600. The chipset (mobile Intel(R) 965 Express) supports 1280/800, but only 640/480 and 800/600 are selectable in setup. When checking for extra drivers, I get a message "your hardware does not need any extra drivers" (or something like that).
Is there any solution?
I saw in the notebook support area that other vaio models (with same resolution than mine) work fine with 1280/800.
Thank you for any suggestions/help!
Alfred

Try to install those packages:

and

915resolution

the second is for intel 915 but maybe work on 965 chipset.

Hi,
I installed the package and edited the 915 resolution file, but it does not
solve the problem.
Any idea where to get the right driver?
Best regards
Alfred
